The Essence of South Africa
9-night private tour from Cape Town to Johannesburg
Hosted by Joy Gawf-Crutchfield & Leigh Ann Lane, May 15-24th, 2025
If you've always wanted to go to South Africa, and can act fast, I can take you with me on The Essence of South Africa in May, 2025.
I was offered this experience as a private tour a few days ago. Doug and I, along with Leigh Ann and Stefan, will be your hosts. The max capacity of this tour is 20, so I have 16 available spaces open for you. (I am sorry but it's double occupancy only, no triples or singles on this offer)
Dates of the tour are May 15-24th, 2025. The tour cost is $8499 per person and includes everything listed in the attached itinerary as well as the intra-tour air. Flights from the USA are not included. Travel insurance, which I highly recommend, is also not included in that price point.
You do not need any vaccines in order to participate in this offer. You also do not need any additional Visa's. A valid passport is necessary, and it must have at least two blank pages.
If you are interested, please reach out to me as quickly as possible so I can secure your deposit (20% per person) and finalize your space. Final payment will be due February 15, 2025.
Thank you so much for considering this wonderful opportunity. I can't wait to go!
Your Globetrotting Friend,
Joy
